The nntnre of my invention consists in the construction ofthe double-barred iron hnrrow, with oblique ends and elevated hooks, or st-i coupling, und in the combination of the same with teeth, constructed with dismond-shaped shoulders, corresponding with the crossbeariugs, or bans composing the frame of the hurl-ow.

D is the sti coupling that connects the two divisions of the hnrrow together, formed by two uprights, with a cross-link :it top, und elevated .for the purpose of 'preventing stubble or stumps from clogging up or interfering with the progress of the barrow.

This stiff coupling D also keeps the two divisions, or sections of the hsrrow nt equal distances npsrt.

The iron lnirrow is constructed with three spaces in front and two behind the bend, which cause the teeth E E to out the frontspaces of the' ground left between the front teeth G G.'

The teeth E and G are square, tapering to u, point below, und having shoulders H at top, with diamondshnped necks, J, to lit the bars at top, and a round bend, L,nnd screw, to fit the upper bur und nut M, to fasten and strengthen the teeth, and give strength to the burrow-tierno.

The top brces N also strengthen the hzurow, and prevent it from' racking.
